<div> I'll check the demo app when I get home, but it uses a completely different API (UPnP/SOAP/etc. ). I did search through the python code to see if there was anything that looked like it was trying to de-tune, but didn't find anything. It might be handled internally to the device via the new API.</div>
<div><br></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>The name for it is the DRI (can't remember what it stands for...google it if you care). When I was writing the code, I had trouble figuring out how to get the DRI to work, so I just stuck with the web interface. I spoke with Austin Foxly from Ceton and asked him about if there was any functionality difference but he said no. Behind the scenes, the DRI interface and the web interface both invoke the same code. So I never bothered trying to figure it out since it was working as is.</div>
